Phone 31 M i 1 l< ENCOUNTER *INBELGIUM Wounded Tell of Ter- rible @ggle._ SLAUGHTER ENORMOUS IN FRONT OF LIEGE Y Germans Rush Across Open Fields, Shells Tearing Big Gaps In Ranks. Brussels, Aug. 12.—Belgian wound 2d arriving here tell of the desperate ness of the German attack on Liege which is only briefly mentioned ir the official dispatches. The assault began after a severe i shelling on Fort Sarangin. The German soldiers rushed across i the open fields at top speed in mass i formation despite the heavy fire from {the fort. The shells from the fort tore great gaps in their lines, but the survivors promptly closed up and kept ton until the first line of entangle- | ments were reached. | 'This was made up of felled brush and small trees entwined with barbed { wire waist high. The German infantry cut and hack- ed at the entanglement, but it had been carefully set and proved almost impregnable. The rear guard of the German at- | tacking force could not be checked 1 and rushed against the advance which j was trying to demolish the entangle- ! ments. From the fort a rain of fire was di- rected at the struggling mass from the rapid-fire guns that had been held in reserve. The slaughter was enor- { mous. The attacking column could not break through and no signal to fall | back was given. The soldiers were | forced to hold their position against ! a rain of fire. - Finally Get Retrcat Signal. It was not until more than half the | attacking force had been killed or | wounded that the signal for the recall | was blown. Eight handred dead and nearly 3, 200 wounded was the cost to the Ger- man arms of this vain attempt, ac- cording to the Belgians. Among those killed in this fight is said to have been Prince William Lippe. 5 The French artillery sent to rein- force the Belgian and French column, which was designated to prevent a German movement toward Waterloo and Rrussels, is being rushed through this city, having been brought up from Lille. It is said here the Germans have been moving large bodies of infantry without supporting artillery through Tongres, and they are believed to be moving toward Waterloo and Brus- sels. Tongres is evidently to be the base of the main army from Cologne, but this is not confirmed. The advance of the allied French- British army has been very rapid, as an attempt is to be made to cut off- the German reinforcements being sent to Liege. MANY GERMANS CAPTURED Six Carloads Said to Be on Way to St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.—It is an- nounced that six carloads of German prisoners of war are en route through Vilna. The war office makes no ex- planation of where they were taken. Vilna is 100 miles east of the Ger- man frontier in Poland, on the direct route of the railway from Warsaw to St. Petersbursg. RUSSIAN NAVY WAITS FOR ITS OPPORTUNITY Stockholm, via London, Aug. 12.— The Swedish steamer Runeburg, Wwhich arrived here from Raumo, Fin- land, reported that she had not seen a single warship in the Aland archi- pelago or anywhere else. Her cap- tain was told that the Russian fleet had not met the German fleet at all, but was waiting in the inner part of the Gulf of Finland for a suitable opportunity to start-an action. The Russians are concentrating their troops at all important points along the Gulf of Finland, especially at Ekenas, on the north side of the entrance to the gulf, and Sveaborg and keeping in reserve a considerable force, reported to number 100,000 men. ), . Germans Headed for Finland. j. Copenhagen, Aug. 12—The com- mander ‘of the Sveaborg fortress has warned the residents of Helsingfors ,and vicinity in Finland to leave as .soon as possible. This is taken to jconfirm the recent report that a force of 40,000 Germans -is marching on Helsingfors. : _Bufgaria Remains Neutral.

LATTER COMPELLED T FALL BACKWARD Evacuate Muhlhausen Under At- fack From “an Over- Whelming Force.” Paris, Aug. 12.—The real confiict for possession of ‘Alsace is in prog- ress. The Germans have driven the French from Muhlhausen and a bat- tle is in progréss on the plains sur- rounding the city: # That the battle is general is indi- cated by admission by the French war office that the army of invasion under General Joffre was compelled to evacuate Muhlhausen under attack from “an overwhelming force” which had advanced from Neu Breisach. ‘Whether Colmar has also been avacuated is not known, as the cen- sorship on news from the front is absolute. The German .attacking army com- prises that massed at Strassburg. It is understood to:number nearly 500, 000 men and it was originally de- signed to lead an invasion of France trom a point near the Swiss border. Official Bulletin Brief. Details of the fighting are withheld. The official builetin merely states that Muhlhausen was evacuated fol- lowing an.overwhelming attack from Neu Breisach. It then adds the German-attack was checked in the joutskirts of the city. That this attack was looked for by the French waroffice is indicated by the admission’-*that reinforcements are being rushed to.the aid of the French army inyading Alsace. On the outcome of the present bat- tle will depend: whether the French ean maintain a foothold in Alsace, or whether they will have to fall back across the border to the protection of their home fortifications. 2 Little information is being received frome the north. There has been fighting in Belgium, where the French troops are supporting the Belgians, and there has .also been continuous fighting along the Luxemburg-French frontier. HIGH COST OF LIVING RAPIDLY GOING UP New York, Aug. 12—The cost of living is going up by leaps and bounds as a résult of the European war. New York butchers quoted meats 4 and 5 cents higher. Butter has ‘soared. reached new top prices. These are purely domestic food staples. On those imported the prices have shot upward to record figures. Not only in food has the high cost of living soared. There are some other staples affected because of the cutting off of foreign exports. Dress goods are already up 10 per cent and stores are beginning to announce ‘“American styles” because Paris is isolated. Shirtings went up 25 per cent on account of suspension of British ship: ments.

It was made a separate entity under the rule of Prince William of Weid following the Balkan war. FRANCE DECLARES WAR: ON AUSTRIA Paris, Aug. 12—Fratice has formal- 1y declared war on Austria.
